Zagg HD Glass Shield. Available at Best Buy for $39.99
Is this the same one? In your photos, it looks like it's cut nicely for the iPhone 6, I wonder why the reviewers are rating it low and saying otherwise.

I have this one : http://www.amazon.com/InvisibleShield-Original-Apple-iPhone-Screen/dp/B00MNFO9Z2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8
Not sure about the low ratings ... I've been using the glass since iPhone 5 and it's been great! And, the lifetime warranty comes in handy ( used it a couple of times ) too !

Thank you, I think I'll give it a try.

How is the leather? Does it feel cheap? Can you compare it to Apple leather case? Thanks! Sorry for all the questions.
I can post some pics but here are my cases and impressions.
Bought an Apple leather in black initially as a holdover. Nice case. I like how it is minimalistic. But I like a case that slides better and this doesn't move in and out of your pocket easily enough. The leather also makes it a bit thicker, which on a 6 Plus, increases the width and hand fatigue/hand cramp.
Also have the Spigen iPhone Case 6 Plus Thin (Amazon calls it "Thin Perfect Fit") which was $7.99 in clear and has almost the same exact cut as the leather case but is slick and a tiny bit slimmer. This is what I am going to use going forward and am very happy with. It reveals all the bottom ports well and gives protection without being too bulky.
I was going to order the Spigen Air Skin but I do like the clear vs. the Air Skin "soft" color which isn't quite transparent. The Air Skin wasn't available yet when I ordered.
I also got the Spigen Air Cushion in clear that someone else posted shots of. I don't think I can send it back. I see the appeal that it gives a bit more coverage than mine, but it is a soft plastic (in order to wrap onto the bezel) and I think those like the Apple silicone cases don't slide into a pocket as easily. I also don't like how they ports on the bottom are more covered. I use a Belkin dock on my nightstand and a JBL speaker in the bathroom that I can dock my 6 Plus on with either the Apple leather or Spigen Thin Fit on without removing. I wouldn't be able to do that with the Air Cushion.
All that said I have always kept my iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, and iPhone 5 all without cases save for using the Apple Bumper for a short time. I like the naked feel. But with the 6 Plus size, not wanting to scratch it, possible but proven not to worry bend issues, etc. I decided to use a case with the 6 Plus short term at least. I used skins on my original iPhone, 3G, and 4 but not on my 5. And my 2 year old 5 is in mint condition, not one scratch. I would have considered putting a skin on the 6 Plus, but because of the new curved sides, most skins will wrap to the glass seam. And in my experience from the original/3G days, the edges of those skins peel back and get pocket lint under them. Because the 4 and 5 was a flat back they didn't suffer this problem. So I plan to skip the skin option.

It barely fits the iphone 6, it only covers the "actual screen" and leave the edge around a wide open gap (the angle in his pictures and the case probably covered most of the gap so you might think its fitment is good), what why people rate it 2 stars, although the clearness and the protection are excellent and ZAGG claimed they did it due to the curve of the glass.
I also came to bestbuy and opened all of ZAGG products (for iphone 6) from original, HD, HDX and Glass => they all are exactly same size. But for me I still like it overrall, worth $40.
Take a look at this:

Ah ok. Thank you for referring me to this post. The photos helped. I wonder when we'll be seeing screen protectors that fit the entire front of the iPhone. Shouldn't we be seeing some available by now? The iPhone has been announced on Sept. 12. But then again, I don't know how long these things take to manufacture.

Will not happened if you want "GLASS" screen protection (GSP) because the iphone glass screen is already "curve" around, GSP is thinker and stronger/harder than normal ones so I can't be applied for those curve edges otherwise it will be self-peeled of in no time. But I think the normal plastic screen protector may works, search/ask here you may find one.

It doesn't really matter if it's glass or not. I just want a screen guard that's a good size.

Liking the blue apple logo on the black leather case.
get the apple logo overlays from GRFXP.com, they have both sizes for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

It's not bad. Nothing special but I really have no complaints so far. Looks and feels good. Small amount of lay on the table and keeps the lens off the table. It will do fine while waiting to see what case makers come out with
Here's a shot of the back

Much appreciated. That was my thought too, see what else everybody else comes out with and this will last in the interim
